[¶0] 1 It is good to give thanks to Jehovah, To sing psalms to thy name, O Most High!

[¶1] 2 To proclaim in the morning thy goodness, And thy truth in the night.

[¶2] 3 Upon the psaltery, and upon the nablum, Upon higgaion with the harp.

[¶3] 4 For thou hast made me glad, O Jehovah! in thy works; In the works of thy hands I will exult.

[¶4] 5 How magnificent are thy works, O Jehovah! Exceeding deep are thy thoughts.

[¶5] 6 The man that is foolish shall not know them, Neither shall he who is void of wisdom understand them.

[¶6] 7 When the wicked flourish as the grass, And all the workers of iniquity spring up, [It is] that they may perish for ever.

[¶7] 8 But thou art exalted for evermore, O Jehovah!

[¶8] 9 For lo! thine enemies, O Jehovah! For lo! thine enemies shall perish; Scattered shall be all the workers of iniquity:

[¶9] 10 But thou shalt exalt my horn like that of the unicorn. I am anointed with fresh oil.

[¶10] 11 And mine eye shall see [ruin] on my oppressors: [Of destruction,] on those who rise up against me — On those who trouble me hear shall my ears.

[¶11] 12 The righteous as the palm tree shall flourish, As the cedar in Lebanon he shall be multiplied.

[¶12] 13 Planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God, they shall flourish.

[¶13] 14 Still shall they bud forth in old age; Fat and green shall they be;

[¶14] 15 That they may proclaim that upright is Jehovah, my Rock, And that there is no iniquity in him.

[¶16] PSALMS 93—118

### Psalm 93

[¶18] 1 Jehovah hath reigned, He hath put on glory, Put on hath Jehovah strength; He hath girded himself: Also he hath established the world, It shall not be moved.

[¶19] 2 Fixed is thy throne; [Even as] from that time thou art, and from eternity.

[¶20] 3 Raised have the floods, O Jehovah! Raised have the floods their voice; Raise shall the floods their waves.

[¶21] 4 By reason of the voices of the great waters Terrible are the waves of the sea: Terrible on high is Jehovah.

[¶22] 5 Thy testimonies are verified exceedingly; To thy house is glory; The holiness of Jehovah is for length of days.
